Przystup, who was a walk-on punter at Michigan State, saw action in four games last season as the Spartans were hit by a number of injuries at the position. Przystup punted 27 times for an average of 40.59 yards with nine of those kicks being downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard-line. Because he only played in four games, Przystup was able to use his redshirt season.MSU also added a punter from Australia. I thought the kid acquitted himself well as the #5 punter.
Przystup was the Spartans primary punter over the final four games of the season, and started at punter in Michigan State's loss to Nebraska in November. In that game, Przystup punted seven times for an average of 42 yards and put one punt inside Nebraska's 20-yard line. The Florida native found himself in a numbers crunch heading into the offseason. The Spartans return starter Jake Hartbarger, who suffered a season-ending injury in Game 2. They'll also have on the roster Tyler Hunt, who is listed as a placekicker, but filled in as the punter after Hartbarger went down, and Bryce Baringer, who joined the program midseason once MSU needed more depth.
Przystup will have to sit out the 2019 season as a transfer, and will have three seasons of eligibility remaining beginning in the 2020 season. He enters the program at an interesting time for Nebraska's special teams units. Przystup gives the Huskers five punters on their roster heading into next season, and will join a group that includes senior punters Caleb Lightbourn, Isaac Armstrong and Jackson Walker. As it stands now, Przystup will be battling with 2019 walk-on Grant Detlefsen for the starting punting job in 2020.
almost seems that they might be listening to the fansIf they believe what the fans want actually carries $$$$ with it, they'll listen.
can't be

Maurice Washington faces charges
I'll be watching like a hawk. :72:Here's your timeline..................
I'll be watching too. But it appears the staff was told there would not be charges and there was no issue. If true, I'm not sure what they would do differently.It looks bad, because, well, all of this, and even more so, because of this **:
But you really have to question the judgement of a kid who texts a video to an ex showing her being sexually assaulted. I guess I can't see being bitter enough about a break up to do that... maybe people get that way, but even if it is not criminal in all states (it is in California) it does show poor judgement and lack of decency.
and for clarity, Washington did not film nor was involved in the assault. Texting the assault back at the victim is the crime.
Yeah, I don't see how they should have been expected to handle it differently, but now there is no reason for him not to have been already kicked off the team. Unless he just didn't do it, which seems unlikely, then what he did is enough that he should be gone, no matter where the legal process goes from here.We all know people who have done dumb things after break ups.. He certainly wanted to hurt her emotionally, which I believe is one of the reasons the law is in place. Not all states have these same laws... and they probably should.
The law has nothing to do with why I'd have already dismissed him. A guy who would send a video of an assault to the victim is nobody I'd want anywhere near my team.Yep, and more questions should have been asked (if they weren't) back when the school was first notified.
The law has nothing to do with why I'd have already dismissed him. A guy who would send a video of an assault to the victim is nobody I'd want anywhere near my team.agree. My only point in mentioning it is if she wasn't in California, I'm not sure this ever is known. We'd have no clue that he held onto a video for years with the purpose to harm her further. We'd be oblivious.
Does she turn the other cheek?How much you offering?
How much you offering?Oh, nothing. I only asked out of pure intellectual curiosity.
Not to turn this into a B1G West thread, but in my grouping of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, & NW to make my point about the competitiveness of the division, I forgot to mention Purdue whom I believe has the roster depth and coaching staff to be every bit the tough out anyone else is.I think the roster is a year out from being able to challenge for the division title. I think the talented incomers are too young to do it consistently.
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, NW, Purdue, and Nebraska
two things:
It's nice that the Badgers have fallen back to the pack, per se
poor Lovie Smith

Booting off of comments (copied below) from @medinabuckeye1 (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1547) in ELA’s countdown thread, I completely agree. As a big believer in Frost, year two is where we’ll see the big jump. It’s one of those scenarios where it’s easy to point out how Nebraska doesn’t have the top shelf talent of Ohio State or Penn State yet, but that isn’t the point for Nebraska going into this season. The greater point is I’m expecting the core talent that’s already in place to be much improved across the roster to the point that the higher-focus pieces (the QB) will have a much easier job with a well taught roster around him.
Another help is the division. I don’t see anyone as a particular front runner like Wisconsin of the past few years. The mixed bag of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and NW looks like a setup where all could go 2-2 Vs each other. Toss in Nebraska and I’m counting on Frost & Staff to exploit the larger flaws each of those four opponents have.
Fun times in the B1G West!
I see Nebraska as a wildcard where almost nothing would surprise me. With most of their toughest opponents at home and most of their easiest on the road that could go either way:
If they are somewhat better than ELA projects: They could be an 8-1 or 7-2 team.
If they are as ELA projects: They could be a 1-8 or 2-7 team.
Their schedule means that the gap between 7-2 and 2-7 isn't very large.
So between MN, IA, WI, NW, Pur & NE I could see the six of them going 3-3 against each other which makes their crossover schedules that much more important.

Construction will include new vertical transportation for fans entering and exiting the North Stadium.Is that a long-winded way of saying "elevators"?
yes, or escalatorsYeah, probably escalators.
slides or fire house brass poles would be good, for going down

I know many Nebraska fans are looking for someone to blame for the poor performance Saturday, but in my opinion the blame resides in their expectations.I get this and I agree, but I am surprised that Nebraska is looking THIS bad. They have played four B1G games so far and in each of those they have done worse or as bad as every other B1G team to play that opponent:
In 1998 when Frank Solich took over as coach, UNL was loaded with NFL talent and a future Heisman Trophy winner.
In 2004 when Bill Callahan took over as coach, he inherited a team that averaged 4 NFL draft picks per year over his first 3 yrs as coach (almost exclusively on defense and OL)
In 2008 when Bo took over as coach, he inherited a team that averaged 4 NFL draft picks per year over his first 3 yrs as coach (again, mostly OL and Defense)
In 2015 when Riley took over as coach, he inherited a team that averaged 2 NFL draft picks per year over his first 3 yrs as coach (final two years were only 1 each year)
In 2018 when Frost took over as coach, he inherited a team that had Zero draft picks in 2019.
From 1994-1997 UNL averaged almost 7 NFL draft picks per year. I realize NFL draft picks exclude people like Tommie Frazier who was a great CF player. However, it is a good way to directionally review talent. Talent is nowhere near the 90's. It has been slowly declining since Callahan was fired.
Frost did not inherit near the talent his predecessors inherited. He will need more than 1.5 yrs to fix it.
My 6-6 doesn't look so bad of a prediction now.At this point it might be optimistic. The Cornhuskers are 4-3 and here are their five remaining games ranked (by me) in order of likelihood to win:
I get this and I agree, but I am surprised that Nebraska is looking THIS bad. They have played four B1G games so far and in each of those they have done worse or as bad as every other B1G team to play that opponent:The only difference makers in in the program right now are a true freshman who is hurt, a true sophmore QB who is hurt, a true Sophmore RB who is dinged up and an upper classman WR who dinged up. There are 2 jr's starting on this team. 2. Last year UNL had a SR WR, SR RB, several SR's on the OL. It was enough of a difference. This year, the starting Center is a RS Freshman with a lot of talent, but he played TE last year. UNL is young up front in the trenches and just like other programs in the west, has to build OL talent, not recruit it.
- They lost to tOSU by 41. That is as bad as IU and worse than MSU (24).
- They lost to Minnesota by 27. That is worse than PU (7) and ILL (23).
- They beat Northwestern by 3. That is worse than MSU (21) and UW (9).
- They beat Illinois by 4. That is worse than Michigan (17) and MN (23).
The Cornhuskers need two more wins to go bowling and right now I don't think that is any better than a 50/50 chance at best. I'm surprised, I didn't expect them to get to the CFP this year, but I didn't expect them to struggle for bowl eligibility either.

Purdue took second place, while Northwestern University was third.
